This week’s weigh-in results in nothing to report — well, except that the scale didn’t move. My weight fluctuated a little over the week, up and down, but the net result is the same as last Monday, 181.
I’m happy with that however! This past weekend was another road trip, this time for a family reunion. This year the elders in my family decided it would be a fun thing to do to hire a vendor to custom-make large batches of homemade ice cream. We’ve made homemade ice cream for reunions in the past, but it meant each of a half dozen people each bringing their own ice cream makers and all the ingredients to do the different flavors. While they were busy cranking the handle (or monitoring the automatic version if available) they couldn’t enjoy the festivities. Problem solved! Hire someone!
The ice cream was good, but fortunately not SO GOOD that the temptation would be higher than it was. I stopped at only a quarter cup! Despite the huge potluck spread and the obligatory “road snacks” I didn’t gain any weight this weekend. I’m happy!
The nicest thing about this weekend was the flurry of compliments that I got from those that haven’t seen me in a year. The photo that is part of my site header was taken at last year’s reunion. I promise as soon as our family photographer provides the link to download the reunion photos from this year, I’ll show you a “before and after”. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself! While one week had no change in weight, there were 87 pounds difference between this year and last. Nice!
